#### Example of Calculating Offsets

The Calculate Offsets button calculates the offset values that appear in the Offset column when you change the nominal value.

For example, suppose you construct an offset line between two circles (CIR1 and CIR2). After you select the features and click the Offsets button, you have X, Y, and Z nominals of:

X = 4.5040

Y = 3

Z = 0.1582

If you change the X, Y, and Z nominals to:

X = 4.5040

Y = 4.5

Z = 0.1582

and click the Calculate Offsets button, the offsets for the two circles update to:

1.500000 CIR1

1.500000 CIR2

If you then click OK and construct the offset line, you'll notice that the line is constructed at 1.5 units higher in the Y axis.
